Pic: Liberal Leader Peter Dutton and former candidate Ben Britton
Liberal Party candidate, Ben Britton, a former paratrooper who served in the ADF has been dis-endorsed for saying females should be removed from combat roles, giving a true indication just how the lefty Liberals bow and scrape to the woke UN and WEF and how badly the Liberal back room boys treat returned soldiers.

Though he had served alongside “tremendous” women in the ADF, Mr Britton, who was the candidate for the seat of Whitlam, told independent journalist Joel Jammal, “if we’re to fix our defence force, unfortunately, they’re going to need to remove females from combat corps”.
About 20 per cent of Australia’s military personnel are women, but not all serve in combat roles.
“Their hips are being destroyed because they can’t cope with the carrying of the heavy loads and the heavy impacts that are required from doing combat-related jobs,” Mr Britton said in the podcast interview with Jammal last July.
“I knew some of the toughest men I’ve ever met in my life, absolute nails. War left them a shaking mess. Drug addicted. Can’t go outside the house because they have panic attacks.
“If war can do that to them and destroy them, why would you want to send your beautiful women? Your females – the ones that are the backbone of your society. Your society only exists because of women … Why would you want to sacrifice them in war, on the altar?”
Senator Rennick pointed out that people should be able to discuss whether women should serve in combat roles without being censored.
“While some might fairly argue with his view, the comments were clearly not intending to demean women,” he said.
“If people can’t respectfully discuss “controversial” views in this country what hope do we have.
“It’s typical of the Liberal party to bow to the woke crowd whenever the going gets tough. This is why you can’t trust them. The Liberal Party has no backbone to uphold free speech.
“Be sure to vote for People First as insurance against weak Liberal politicians.”
